Presents from aunts and uncles get opened Christmas morning with everything else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-open-gifts-from-others#post-2386075 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 18:45:36 +0000 mrsrain 2386075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We open all presents on Christmas morning. We go around the room, though, so no presents get lost in the shuffle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-open-gifts-from-others#post-2386038 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 17:37:52 +0000 Andrea 2386038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just save everything for xmas day.

Then we came up with our system). Then we'd eat breakfast, and after, we'd open all the rest of the gifts under the tree. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-open-gifts-from-others#post-2385631 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 13:07:33 +0000 Adira 2385631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we're with the person who gave the gift, we'll open it whenever we receive the gift (so the gifter can witness it being opened and get a thank you in person), otherwise we'll open on Christmas morning with all the other presents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-open-gifts-from-others#post-2385628 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 13:04:13 +0000 sapphire 2385628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Growing up we always opened presents from others on Christmas eve after getting home from church. It helped tide us over until the morning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-to-open-gifts-from-others#post-2385554 Fri, 11 Dec 2015 12:16:17 +0000 mediagirl 2385554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter gets gifts from her godmother, her uncle and from one set of grandparents. The other grandparents send a card with a check for the college fund. When do you have your lo open gifts that aren't from you or Santa?</p> <p>Last year we let her open gifts from her Uncle on Christmas Eve. I felt like the rest of the gifts from the grandparents and godmother got lost in the mix. </p> <p>What do you do? </p>
